What a good starting point for developing Clojure on Google AppEngine

Question

What is a good starting point for developing Clojure on Google AppEngine?

There seem to be two competing libraries, appengine-magic and compojure-gae.

What is your opinion?

Good library. This takes away most of the things you don’t want to deal with. It is as simple as a regular Clojure web application.

The magic app library is what you should look at. Im working with him too.
